Some of the sessions took a look at how the Dutch and EPL clubs develop their youth players. Other sessions focused on the 4-4-2 formation. These sessions will be published in future issues of the WORLD CLASS COACHING magazine. Tony Carr, the Academy Director of West Ham United conducted three sessions showing the "West Ham Way" that included an attention to detail on ensuring good technique is in place to allow tactics to be put into action. Jan Pruijn showed how the famous Dutch club Ajax develop their players with small-sided games. Schellas Hyndman of SMU was a master clinician demonstrating how to defend and attack with a 4-4-2 formation. Wayne Harrison put on a great session demonstrating his "Awareness" coaching methods that have made him a best selling author. |

INCREDIBLE FEEDBACK We have already received some positive messages from some of the attending coaches including: "This year was better than the last two I have attended." "I really enjoy your seminars. This is the 5th one I have attended and I will continue to attend as long as they are this good." "Brilliantly organized. Last year was great this one was just as good." "I must say I have gained more out of these seminars than I get from the USSF national camps." "I can't imagine a seminar being much better. I am leaving a much better coach." "I can't wait to get back to my team and put into action what I have learned here this weekend." |
